Neutrophilic intracellular acidosis induced by conventional, lactate-containing peritoneal dialysis solutions

Int J Artif Organs. 1992 Nov;15(11):661-5.

Abstract

Exposure of human neutrophils to a conventional, acidic, lactate-containing peritoneal dialysis solution (PDS) resulted in the development of a prompt and substantial intracellular acidosis. It is possible that this intracellular acidosis contributes to cellular dysfunction.
